Ben Affleck ruined Daredevil for me.<br /><br />BTW, Michael Duncan Clark as the Kingpin was just not right. He was great as John Coffee in <i>The Green Mile</i> (and servicable as Cleon Salmon in <i>The Slammin' Salmon</i> - I love Broken Lizard), but he was all wrong as Wilson Fisk in <i>Daredevil</i>.<br /><br />Would you film a <i>Powerman & Ironfist</i> movie and make Luke Cage white? Maybe have Chuck Liddel run around sayin' "Sweet Christmas!"? NO! With all due respect to Liddel, you do the right thing and cast Rampage Jackson!<br /><br />This shit ain't brain surgery, is it? I mean, Kingpin was white. Jeez...<br /><br />Oh, yeah: good what-if thingy or whatever :)Prime Directornoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-39666895457134869622010-10-30T11:53:55.924-03:002010-10-30T11:53:55.924-03:00I also loved Akin & Garvey's inks on Rom a...I also loved Akin & Garvey's inks on Rom and Iron Man (over Luke McDonnell) in the mid 80's.

Hey, Marvel, where is my elseworld miniseries about it?<br /><br />This What if is probably the best I ever read. From Murdock madness, to the Rose dilema, to the Hobgoblin crazy death (calling Spiderman for help, nothing less!) it's simply awesome.<br /><br />The last vignette, with Daredevil under the shadow of the Kingpin headquarter is a good touch.<br /><br />Probably I liked it a lot, 'couse when I bought it as a kid, I still haven't read the real Born Again story.<br /><br />RogerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
